We use our mooring cover in the spring and fall to keep the baot covered when it isn't shrinkwrapped.

And it gets dusty and dirty.

It's very large.

What methods do you use for cleaning yours?
 
I've never done it, but the big front-load machines at the local laundromat are a good choice.
I've just always used the boat brush and soap/water while it's "up" on the boat.
 
If your is made with "Sunbrella" fabric, you may want to do like us: Lay it flat on the grass and hose off all the loose stuff. Then take a non-bleach cleaner and scrub it with a soft bristle brush. Ours is 5 years old and cleans up like new. I do the same thing with my canvas.
Hope this helps.
 
Just did ours today.

Since ours is black, I use a mixture of Woolite (for dark colors) and some Oxy Clean. Hose off the loose stuff and then scrub it with a soft brush while still on the boat. Rinse cover and boat. I am able to set up a clotheline of sorts to hang the cover over. I re-rinse when it is hanging on the line. I then lay it flat and spray with 303 fabric protectant.
 
I toss it over a clothes line on when it is warm enough to play in the water. I use 303 fabric cleaner with a stiff bristle brush and a garden hose. After it dries, reapply 303 fabric protectant. Once finished it will look and feel like new. I have the black too, mine really needs cleaning ...but its got to warm up!
